Um yeah.. my real plan was to make a deck with custom artwork really as a niche/personal project.. but I don't feel very hopeful about it atm... also haven't spent more than a few minutes on it yet.

I did look again at the default deck and it seems like that rectangle is just a border on the "slice" it takes... not feeling hopeful about messing with the (encrypted?) themes coding.. unless you gurus know more than I do

but yea the deck images I have are really weird.. it seems easy for FT.. but I don't play there.. here is some more pics for your entertainment =)

umm I tried to put 3 pics but only 1 shows up? w/e

the one on the left might be do-able (somewhat). you could do 1 image per suit (with an alternate image for clubs and diamonds when using the "color deck" option)

I can't get this to work, added everything to the XThemes folder and updated xthemes.ini but it uses the default background and can't find a preview image or anything. Sigh

Fozzy - sweet cards!

You first have to resize the image when download it. The size isn't right. But i have the trouble that when i close pokerstars and restart it it tells there is an update and the original images are downloaded. Anyone?

I cant get the donekey table theme to work how much i continue to try, i tried just pasting it in the shiny dir and makin a new mod folder in xthemes and pasting it in every other folder with a theme and rewriting the reg file to xtheme but pstars do not want to preview or display the image... could someone help ?????

1. open marine (or whichever non-basic theme u like) theme in stars directory
2. in that directory open the bg file with some type of editing program (ms paint works fine)
3. copy the image i've posted above and paste into ur editing software (make sure the dimensions are the same or it won't work)
4. save
5. do the same with the fg file

restart ps but don't let it update or it will change ur settings. u can right-click the ps icon on ur desktop and remove the word 'update' where it says pokerstarsupdate.exe and bingo bango ur done. (u can also just change the theme from whatever it is currently on and then change it to ur new theme)

Made my first 2 table shapes for stars. Ignore the blue background, just a color I picked to contrast the table a bit. Just made em gray shade for now, as that is my preference. This is the Absolute Poker style Quarter and Top view table I recently made .

Top View Elliptical

Quarter View Elliptical

How to get this exact setup?

Can anyone go through the process with me, step by step..I've tried to follow the instructions in this thread but stars kept bugging when i was doing it

I make and distribute Custom PokerStars Table Themes from my website www.psthemes.com

I have gotten a number of messages from users, stating that the latest update from PokerStars has placed an obtrusive PokerStars logo in the center of their custom themes.

If this is so, you have destroyed a year's worth of work and financial investment in my Custom Theme work.

If you are concerned about having the PokerStars name displayed on the tables, I would gladly comply and incorporate it into my table themes.

As it is, the themes I (and many others) have made are completely useless.

I was very proud of the fact that my themes, and distribution method, complied and integrated nicely into your softrware.

If you insist on forcing your logo smack dab in the middle of my (and countless others') playing field, I shall be forced to resort to the old ways of over-riding your software and encourage people to dodge your software updates! I MUCH prefer our previous harmonious existence.

Please see if someone in your organization (responsible for themes) can contact me and help me understand the situation and the future of Table Themes and players' freedom of expression.
